The ERKI Fashion Show 2025 design competition is now open! This year ERKI Fashion Show invites all aspiring fashion designers to participate in the design competition. Submissions are open until March 10th.  Returning for the 36th time, ERKI Fashion Show is entering a fresh new era. Last year’s newly appointed head organizer, Michelle Amberg, brings innovative solutions and an energetic team to the event. “This year, ERKI Fashion Show will introduce groundbreaking approaches and an inspiring youthful energy. As the new head organizer, I am beyond excited to contribute to the growth of Estonia’s fashion scene and take it to new heights. I can’t wait to see the designers’ collections – this year is going to be truly exceptional!” ERKI Fashion Show is known for its creativity and innovation, offering young designers a platform to showcase their ideas. This annual fashion event highlights emerging talents, helping them gain recognition both locally and internationally. The show’s mission is to break boundaries and bring something fresh and unique to the fashion landscape. Closely tied to the Estonian Academy of Arts’ Faculty of Design, the event features only the most promising young designers. Organized by students of the Estonian Academy of Arts, ERKI Fashion Show is one of the largest volunteer-led professional events in Estonia, bringing together future artists, designers, architects, painters, and fashion creators. The design competition is open to both Estonian and international designers who are currently studying or have graduated within the last three years. ERKI Fashion Show does not impose thematic restrictions, allowing full creative freedom in concept and execution. However, submissions must meet specific criteria outlined in the ERKI Fashion Show 2025 regulations. The competition opens on January 30th and the deadline for submissions is March 10th at 6:00 PM. Designs must be submitted to the ERKI branded submission box located in the lobby of the Estonian Academy of Arts or sent by mail to the following address: Põhjala Puiestee 7, Tallinn, 10412, Estonia. The collections selected for ERKI Fashion Show 2025, taking place on May 31th, will be announced by March 17th on the event’s official website. All chosen designers will also be personally contacted. Additionally, all ERKI Fashion Show 2025 collections will compete for a financial award in one of three categories:  Prêt-à-Porter – Ready-to-wear fashion, Fashion as Art – Fashion as an artistic expression and Innovative Approaches in Fashion – Cutting-edge techniques in fashion design. Over the years, ERKI Fashion Show has become one of Estonia’s most important fashion events, bringing together true fashion enthusiasts from both Estonia and abroad. Notable past participants include Xenia Joost, Estonian designer and founder of her namesake brand, Mariliis Niine, men’s accessories designer at Louis Vuitton, and Cärol Ott, among many others.
